Tag You're It - Goodbye

I hope that everyone had a great New Year's Celebration and I wish everyone a wonderful 2018!

We are starting this New Year off by saying a sweet goodbye to Tag You're It Challenge.  This was a terrific challenge blog headed by our talented and lovely Tracey McNeeley.  She has expertly headed up this challenge for sometime now and has done a great job keeping all of us organized and inspired.  We thank you Tracey! 

As our final post, each design team member past and present are picking their favorite tag.  Jump on over to the blog and check out what everyone picked...so fun to see everyone's favorites.  Here's mine...I really like this tag, because the image is so fun and I watercolored it using distress ink, which is a technique I just love!

Tag You're It Challenge #71

We are back from Hawaii!  We had an awesome time...checking out parts of the island we had missed prior.  Love the "Up Country," far less touristy and absolutely beautiful!

We have a challenge going on over a Tag You're It.  We are now holding our challenge on a monthly basis, so you have lots of time to participate.  Here's the inspiration tag from our guest artist...Lindsey.

Here is my take on the inspiration...I focused on florals with my main images red.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

This is a super easy tag.  I simply stamped my images with black ink and colored them with my Copic markers.  Because the little blue flowers are so small, I colored them with Copics then used colored pencils to add a bit of shading.

Tag You're It - New Format

Happy Friday...hope everyone is enjoying the start to the weekend!  

We are changing things around a bit over at Tag You're It!  Starting with this challenge, #71, Tag You're It is moving to a monthly format. That means that you will have at least four weeks to participate! You will still be getting lots of inspiration from our team, every Friday to be exact. The entire Tag You're It Design Team will be participating in every challenge to inspire you. We hope that by having a longer time to complete your projects that you can find more time to create! Our Guest Designers will be sharing inspiration with you on the 1st and 3rd week of the challenge. 

The new challenge will start on the first Friday of every month and the link up will close on the last Wednesday of the month. The winners post will always be one hour prior to the new challenge each month.

Head on over to the site and see what inspiration the team has created. We are looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Thanks for stopping by...have a great weekend!

Tag You're It - Challenge #70

What a beautiful spring day!  Nice week to be on the courts playing both singles and doubles.  The beautiful weather is continuing so more fun to come!

We also have a challenge starting over at Tag You're It!  Here's the inspiration tag...from our guest designer Kim Heggins.  Isn't this just the cutest tag ever?

I'm sure you can come up with a bunch of great tags with this fun inspiration. Here's my take on the challenge, looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

I started by stamping my balloons on the tage and coloring them with copics. I masked the balloons and added the brick background.

I then stamped my bear on separate card stock and colored him.  I was going to pop him on on foam tape, but in the end, I just glued him on the tag.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Tag You're It Challenge #68

It has been a beautiful week, so I've been able to get a lot of tennis in this past week!  Yeah!

We have another challenge over at Tag You're It.  I missed the last challenge because I had the wrong date on my calendar...but I'm thrilled to be on schedule again.  And, for this challenge, we have a really cute inspiration tag from our guest designer Gayatri Murali.

So many possibilities with this one...here's my take on the challenge!

I started by stamping my main image on the tag, then coloring it with Copic markers. Once completed, I masked the image and used distress ink for my bricks!  I then stamped my sentiment and done.

Pretty quick and easy!!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Tag You're It Challenge #64

It has been a nice few days, so I've been able to play a bit of tennis...finally!  I was a bit rusty yesterday, so am hoping that I will be a bit better in my match today!


We have another challenge starting over at Tag You're It.  Hope you plan on joining us!  We have a wonderful guest designer, Lyn Put!  This is her challenge tag!  I love these colors, which I used as my main inspiration.

Here is my take on the challenge...

I focused on the die cut elements and the color of the tag...nothing better than brown, red and white.

I simple die cut the tag and the various elements.  I colored the mug with copics and adhered all the elements together.  I then stamped the sentiment at the bottom. It is a bit too small, but was in a bit of a hurry to get this done that I didn't search for anything larger!

Tag You're It Challenge #62

Time for another challenge over at Tag You're It.  This is our last challenge for the year so hope you find some time to join us.  Here's the inspiration tag from our guest designer Laurie Willison!

I love the simplicity of her tag.  I took that idea and the Christmas colors as inspiration for my tag.  Here's what I came up with.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!




This is a super simple tag.  I started by stamping my sentiment then stamping the string of lights.

I colored them with Copics adding a bit of shading to give a little dimension.  And as a final touch added some wink of Stella to each bulb.
